Daniel Galland is Associate Professor in the Department of Planning at Aalborg University in Copenhagen. His research and scholarship are bound by an interest in the drivers of change shaping urban and regional planning institutions, policies and practices, and the modes of spatial intervention emerging as a result.

His current work investigates how the essence, content and styles of planning transition - with a focus on implications at the regional scale. Recently completed international projects include:

• Planning and Governing the Metropolis (ARL: German Academy of Spatial Research and Planning)
• Nordic Planning Styles in Urban & Regional Governance (NOS-HS: Joint Committee for Nordic Research Councils for the Humanities and the Social Sciences)
• Urban Planning and Governance Styles (Research Council of Norway)
• Evaluating Spatial Planning Practices with Digital Plan Data (ESPON)

Daniel serves on the editorial boards of four planning journals: Planning Practice & Research (since 2021), Nordic Journal of Urban Studies (since 2020), European Journal of Spatial Development (since 2016), and Urban Planning (since 2016). He is also co-editor of Metropolitan Regions, Planning and Governance (Springer 2020) and Planning Regional Futures (Routledge 2022).
